Drive from Ohio to Texas. . or fly?

Question

Okay. So me and my boyfriend want to go to Houston, TX in April. . .

Well we have to fly b/c we live in Ohio and thats just to far to drive, right? Thats like 2000 miles away.

Okay we don't have a problem at all getting hotels and flights. . . but he's 19 and I'm 18.

How are we supposed to get around if we dont drive, I mean is there any rental cars that will rent ta 19 yo's?

I don't really know any alternitives I mean we have enough money to cover flight and hotel and food and alll that good stuff but I dont think we can afford cab fares every where we go for a week. . lol yah know.

Would driving be cheaper then flying it would suck bad but we would have a car and http://www.fuelcostcalculator.com/ says that gas from Columbus to houston would be around 300. It was right on my last trip to Florida but I dont know.

Round trip tickets for both of us would be 800. I perfer flying but do not know what to do about the car!!! Gr.

Can any one give me any advice on this?

Thanks

Answer 1

The drive isn't that bad. About 18-20 hours total. If you go by way of Memphis you could stop there half way thru and check out the town which is pretty nice. I assume you both drive so it wouldn't be too bad if you did it that way.  

Answer 2

Well to rent a car, you must be 25 and have a credit card to put it on.  Flying would be really fast, but driving would be a lot of fun also.  It would be fun to stay over in a hotel, and look at everything as you are driving.  Me and my friend drove to VA beach from cleveland and it was lots of fun.  So driving is the best option i think!

Answer 3

well with Gas going up and down it could be more than 300 dollars, you have to 25 to rent a car, but why would you want to go to Houston i mean i live an hour from Houston, its fun an all but its not that great and the closest beach here is Galveston and its not that great either. But I perfer flying but its up to you
